From slashfilm, [excerpt] As I type, Mickey Rourke is reportedly in Russia promoting The Wrestler. Good - it might come in handy for him to research his upcoming Iron Man 2 role as, apparently, the soviet miscreant in Iron Man 2 (Ed. note: Although we don’t have confirmation yet, it seems likely that he’ll be playing the role of Russian villain Crimson Dynamo).
Yep - that’s right. Those sentences were full of confidence and sureness. Rourke has actually signed. Nikki Finke reports “I just heard that ICM has scored its second casting deal for Marvel’s Iron Man 2” and, well, this is the kind of stuff you can trust Finke on.
Rourke’s agent has apparently been wheedling to get their payday boosted, and ultimately with great success. Finke’s word for the good man’s imminent payday is “significant.” No idea what scale Hollywood’s accountants, bankers and bursars are counting on these days, so I’d hesitate before even taking a wild stab at what “significant” might mean. Your idle speculation in the comments, please. Let’s gossip about money.

Have any of you seen The Wrestler? It's terrific and he deserves all the accolades he's been receiving.
i swear, if not for the scarring, Mickey Roarke would look exactly like Kiefer Sutherland right now
